Jesus taught universal atonement here: [Jhn 5:28 KJV] Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, [Jhn 5:29 KJV] And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the...

I supposed so, since Samuel always spoke to Saul in poetic language. Maybe you're the one struggling...with the English language.

It might. Or it might not. Just as settled future folks think they have it figured out (and tell others they don't), so Molinists might think they have it figured out and others don't. In reading the article, it says "The Bible contains many examples of foreknowledge such as Deut 31:16–17 "...

I look forward to reading your new thread. I wanted to point back to my commentary on Hezekiah's sickness about your #1 "God knows the future thousands and thousands of years in advance" [2Ki 20:1, 4-6 KJV] 1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz...

That's pretty cool, Steven! I work with the Space Force, though I'm not a member of the military, and I'm glad to see that you are able to contribute so well, perhaps even better than had you been accepted as a military officer!

That's a very gracious reply, Steven, and a good example for all of us! I agree that we do not know how God's omniscience works, but we do have evidence about what it includes. I gave three examples to @AustinC. But this is my favorite: [2Ki 20:1, 4-6 KJV] 1 In those days was Hezekiah sick...

I didn't address this, but it is an excellent statement, and deserves addressing. If our whole understanding of God's omniscience fails, isn't that the same problem you brought up about Paul's doxology (included below in praise to Him), but aimed at the traditional understanding? [Rom 11:33-36...

I think you are falsely dichotomizing. Why is it that when we read God's Word in an attempt to understand what God has told us about Himself, that such is suddenly counseling God? If God welcomes us searching Him out, even if we don't or can't do it very well, and provides His own descriptions...

But that's not how God presents Himself in His Word. Which suggests, if you didn't catch it, that your theology is man-based, and not as revealed by God. Here's an example: [Jon 3:2, 4, 10 KJV] 2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. ... 4...

Does God have to decide from eternity past all He's going to do in whatever future occurs? I think that's what you are asking. Because most around here think God knows the future exhaustively, which would have to include His own future works. In that case, He at one time might have had...

Or perhaps poor philosopher as poor scientist.

I don’t think it’s original with me. I’m sure you can use it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s exactly what I said! I’m glad we’re in agreement! You have completely ignored what God tells us in Ephesians 2. I have provided the observation of what God says. Not ignored—disagreed with your interpretation. You would understand scripture better if you learn to speak and write more...

God’s Grace is exhibited in the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ. But you and others here are telling us that it is exhibited by an additional thing that’s required before someone believes. Thus can’t be Christ’s death, because His death doesn’t have an exclusion clause that prevents it...

I think that’s more of a question for you than me. What do you propose? It’s obviously a different action on the part of God, since it isn’t just the death of Christ. Such is a false dichotomy. Just because a person decides he wants God’s mercy, after God has offered it, doesn’t mean he is...

I’m not saying God doesn’t make us alive in Christ (though not yet WITH Christ). I’m saying He does that through the death of Christ to pay for our sins, and not through any other means. God doesn’t save us through an unknown mechanism, but through a known mechanism—Jesus Christ, and Him...

God did do something. He sent Jesus Christ, who lived a righteous life and died for our sins. Are you saying that’s not enough to save us? That we need something more than Christ and Him crucified to be preached to us? Did you go read the context of Jeremiah 17? It does not match the...

Ok. I saw some bold and some not, and assumed some significance. Nevertheless, what help does that verse provide?

So if she were to stop living in pleasure, then she would no longer be “dead while she live there”, right? So Paul here, in the midst of admonishing Timothy, also is telling Timothy how to admonish the widows that are not spending their time profitably. Don’t you think that means they need...

I think you’re confused. Those that don’t breathe are physically dead. I’m pretty sure you would have to agree that in your vocabulary “spiritually dead” people are physically alive, and can still be recipients of God’s mercies. Thus they breathe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
